Review your task

The website you'll create consists of:

  • A page that provides a form for leaving comments and displays the comments already left by others.

  • An administrative section for managing the comments. This section can be accessed only by the site's administrators and consists of the following pages:

    • A login page that allows administrators to authenticate
    • A page for administrating feedback
    • A page for deleting feedback items
    • A page for changing the status of feedback items

Figure 1 shows the main page of the finished site, including the feedback form and two comments left by site visitors.

This is the main page of the dynamic sample website that you'll create in this tutorial.
